What could the future of the industry
look like? Something to think about….
As a result of technological developments, and the Big Crew
Change, the industry is changing more rapidly than ever. With
more and more bright new minds entering the industry, it has
been proposed what the industry may face is a talent gap in
certain areas, as opposed to a shortage of professionals. The
Crew Change also means that Young Professionals will be
inheriting senior positions quicker than their predecessors did,
to fill the vacancies left from retirement.
And so it has been suggested that as far as careers in the oil
and gas industry are concerned, times ahead are going to be
much more exciting and competitive. As technology advances
and ‘easy’ oil starts to become less lucrative to pursue, the
industry will be going down more technically challenging
avenues, such as hydrocarbon resources.

calculated total compensation of USD 203,557 in 2013

• Globally, those under the age of 26 average USD 55,274

So, what is SPE?
The Society of Petroleum Engineers is the largest individual-member
organization serving managers, engineers, scientists and other
professionals worldwide in the upstream segment of the oil and gas
industry. SPE offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the
profession through programs and activities and many of SPE’s
accomplishments are driven by the dedicated members
SPE has Chapters at Universities all over the world to help student
members with making their first steps towards their future careers in
the industry. Chapters help SPE to deliver its mission to the members –
to collect and share information about the development, advancements
and technologies associated with the industry amongst the student and
professional members.

15.

Why not start a Chapter…?
Student chapters are located at universities around the world, providing
an operating framework for society activities at a university level. Student
members attending the university annually elect officers to head up the
Chapter’s direction and activities. SPE chapters are sponsored by an SPE
Section (made up of local SPE professional members).
Reasons to start a Chapter at your University:
Hold events, conferences, social gatherings and lectures
Opportunities to exchange technical information and network with your
peers and industry professionals
Receive recognition and awards for outstanding activities and
contributions
Receive a start-up grant and an official SPE Chapter logo and charter upon
establishment to kick-start the Chapter and its endeavours

16.

How to start a Chapter…
To establish a new SPE Student Chapter at your University, here’s what you must do:
First, get together all of the students interested in starting a Chapter here at your University
to coordinate your efforts. You need a minimum of 15 student members at the University.
Ask for a letter of support to establish a Chapter on letterhead from the university
department head.
Ask a faculty member to serve as your Faculty Advisor, ensure they review the Faculty
Advisor Roles & Responsibilities found on the SPE website.
Find the SPE Section closest to the university and request a letter of support
Call a meeting of the interested students and elect officers. Full details of the roles can be
found on the SPE website below.
Submit the following to [email protected]:
